actually, both the yorubas and the hausas have been conquered as at 1880, the igbos where yet to be taken over hence, they were not yet included in the map. The igbo territory was the last to be subdued of all Britain colonial territory of Nigeria. Part of why they dislike the igbos because the igbos were stubborn and hard to crack..

sukkot:
so am looking at this map of nigeria in the 1800s and it shows yoruba and hausa and nupe territories and there is no mention of igbo. the igbo territories belonged to Niger protectorate and coast. my question is are igbos really from nigeria ? I am starting to think they migrated from cameroon to that region in the late 1800s. so the question is if they are Cameroonians why do they want to form biafra in nigeria ? look at this map and tell me i am wrong

Feels good to be back again

@ OP

No wonder they shout no man's land updanda. These bush fellas never had a place to call home.

Kikikikikiki

I guess it's time to chase the ibos out of obodo nigeria, right into sambista forest or desert abeg

NothingDoMe:
Who be this one?

simplycarro:
They were still jumping around the bushes then
It took the Europeans a while to really tame them and make them act like humans
I used to see a picture of one of them in the bushes back then on NL, let me search for it.

Lalasticlala come see snake for Nigerian map oh.

you must think we are all stupid here. why is there no igbo on the map ? you dont need to conquer someone before including them on the map. you must think we are stupid here

The igbos resisted British rule for so many years. The Aro confederacy (an alliance that included ibibios) fought them for 12 years. The anioma Igbo fought the longest British resistance in Africa. Lasted for 31 years. It was called the ekwumekwu war.

There is a reason the British feared igbos and made sure to keep them away from power.

Oh yes in your distorted mind igbos moved into Nigeria after the British came. Let's just forget the Igbo-ukwu and Nri artifacts that were stolen by the British dated back to the 900 ad. Nairaland needs it testing.

ZarZar:
Nope, the longest war in British colonisation goes to the Xhosa tribe of South Africa

sukkot:
those artifacts belonged to an ancient tribe. nothing to do with igbo

hornyofife:
yes you need to conquer them, administer them, map out their areas and identify the different ethnic/tribal nations in the area before you can define their map

And your evidence?

simplycarro:
How does that concern you? Did you fit into the narrative?
I will advise you to avoid this thread for you own health, some shit is about to hit the fan, hopefully the mods keep off

NothingDoMe:
You are joking right?

Look me up.

sukkot:
they were called the NOK tribe. its an ancient tribe. nothing to do with igbo. google it. The NOK

NothingDoMe:
Woman! Stay outta this!

All because of IPOB resistance to your useless Nigeria, you are willing to go to any extent to distort Igbo history. NOK Culture existed in the north central or middlebelt.
